Yoel 1
1 Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada Yoel bin Petuel.
The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
2 Dengarlah ini, hai para tua-tua, pasanglah telinga, hai seluruh penduduk negeri! Pernahkah terjadi seperti ini dalam zamanmu, atau dalam zaman nenek moyangmu?
Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Did ever such a thing as this come to pass in your days, or ever in the days of your fathers?
3 Ceritakanlah tentang itu kepada anak-anakmu, dan biarlah anak-anakmu menceritakannya kepada anak-anak mereka, dan anak-anak mereka kepada angkatan yang kemudian.
Tell ye of it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to another generation.
4 Apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pengerip telah dimakan belalang pindahan, apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pindahan telah dimakan belalang pelompat, dan apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pelompat telah dimakan belalang pelahap.
What the caterpillar left hath the locust eaten; and what the locust left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm left hath the cricket eaten.
5 Bangunlah, hai pemabuk, dan menangislah! Merataplah, hai semua peminum anggur karena anggur baru, sebab sudah dirampas dari mulutmu anggur itu!
Wake up, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet new wine, that it is taken away from your mouth.
6 Sebab maju menyerang negeriku suatu bangsa yang kuat dan tidak terbilang banyaknya; giginya bagaikan gigi singa, dan taringnya bagaikan taring singa betina.
For a nation is come up over my land, strong, and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it hath the cutting-teeth of the lioness.
7 Telah dibuatnya pohon anggurku menjadi musnah, dan pohon araku menjadi buntung; dikelupasnya kulitnya sama sekali dan dilemparkannya, sehingga carang-carangnya menjadi putih.
It hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig-tree: it hath peeled it clean bare, and cast it down; made white are its light branches.
8 Merataplah seperti anak dara yang berlilitkan kain kabung karena mempelai, kekasih masa mudanya.
Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the betrothed of her youth.
9 Korban sajian dan korban curahan sudah lenyap dari rumah TUHAN; dan berkabunglah para imam, yakni pelayan-pelayan TUHAN.
Cut off are the meat-offering and the drink-offering from the house of the Lord: now mourn the priests, the ministers of the Lord.
10 Ladang sudah musnah, tanah berkabung, sebab gandum sudah musnah, buah anggur sudah kering, minyak sudah menipis.
Wasted is the field, the land mourneth; for wasted is the corn: dried up is the new wine, withered is the oil.
11 Para petani menjadi malu, tukang-tukang kebun anggur meratap karena gandum dan karena jelai, sebab sudah musnah panen ladang.
Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen; wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because lost is the harvest of the field.
12 Pohon anggur sudah kering dan pohon ara sudah merana; pohon delima, juga pohon korma dan pohon apel, segala pohon di padang sudah mengering. Sungguh, kegirangan melayu dari antara anak-anak manusia.
The vine is made ashamed, and the fig-tree is withered; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dried up; because joy hath ceased from the children of men.
13 Lilitkanlah kain kabung dan mengeluhlah, hai para imam; merataplah, hai para pelayan mezbah; masuklah, bermalamlah dengan memakai kain kabung, hai para pelayan Allahku, sebab sudah ditahan dari rumah Allahmu, korban sajian dan korban curahan.
Gird yourselves [with sackcloth], and lament, ye priests; wail, ye ministers of the altar: come, remain all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God; for there are withholden from the house of your God the meat-offering and the drink-offering.
14 Adakanlah puasa yang kudus, maklumkanlah perkumpulan raya; kumpulkanlah para tua-tua dan seluruh penduduk negeri ke rumah TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berteriaklah kepada TUHAN.
Sanctify ye a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, gather the elders, all the inhabitants of the land, into the house of the Lord your God, and cry aloud unto the Lord.
15 Wahai, hari itu! Sungguh, hari TUHAN sudah dekat, datangnya sebagai pemusnahan dari Yang Mahakuasa.
Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and like destruction from the Almighty will it come.
16 Bukankah di depan mata kita sudah lenyap makanan, sukaria dan sorak-sorai dari rumah Allah kita?
Is not before our eyes the food cut off, from the house of our God joy and gladness?
17 Biji-bijian menjadi kering di dalam tanah, lumbung-lumbung sudah licin tandas, rengkiang-rengkiang sudah runtuh, sebab gandum sudah habis.
The grains of seed are rotten under their clods, laid desolate are the garners, pulled down are the barns; for the corn is dried up.
18 Betapa mengeluhnya hewan dan gempar kawanan-kawanan lembu, sebab tidak ada lagi padang rumput baginya; juga kawanan kambing domba terkejut.
How do the beasts groan! how do the herds of cattle roam about; because there is no pasture for them: yea, the flocks of sheep are made to perish.
19 Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berseru, sebab api telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun, dan nyala api telah menghanguskan segala pohon di padang.
To thee O Lord, will I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath singed all the trees of the field.
20 Juga binatang-binatang di padang menjerit karena rindu kepada-Mu, sebab wadi telah kering, dan apipun telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun.
Also the beasts of the field cry unto thee panting; for the brooks of waters are dried up, and a fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
